Former France coach Philippe Saint-Andre lost his second game in charge of Top 14 strugglers Montpellier on Sunday, a 23-22 defeat at Brive, despite a 19-0 half-time lead.
Saint-Andre, who took over from the sacked Xavier Garbajosa last weekend, also tasted defeat on Wednesday at Lyon.
The game was played 24 hours after the French government advised clubs to postpone their upcoming European Cup matches with British teams due to the new Covid-19 variant in the United Kingdom.
The hosts coach Jeremy Davidson made 12 changes from last weekend s hammering at Stade Francais with former Fiji U20s back-rower Kitione Kamikamica among the three to keep their places.
